 |
Recommended Monitors
| We recommend 27" flat panel monitors as the MINIMUM size for measuring center monitors.
The slightly curved monitor that you see here is the SAMSUNG C27F398. As of 2021, our office and development staff use these monitors. For a factory environment where mutliple users may be viewing the screen at the same time, we recommend a 40 inch monitor or TV. |
|
| Some customers like to go even larger in order to allow for easy viewing by multiple operators. This B/E Aerospace installation shows a large TV. The benefit of using a TV with an HDMI cable is that the TV has built-in speakers than replace separate amplified speakers. This setup is ideal for allowing a large group of people to view VTube-LASER at the same time. |
 |
| Our VTube-iMC (Integrated Measuring Center) uses a 40 inch TV monitor as its standard size.
Keep in mind that some larger TVs have electronics that allow for a lag time in mouse movement - which can be annoying to the user. Higher-priced major brands monitors usually do not have this pointer movement lag. |
